Top 5 Mac Cleaners in 2017

After being used for a period of time, your iMac/MacBook may get slower. That's when you need to clean caches, logs and other junk to optimize the Mac computer. How can I clean my Mac? You may ask. A smart mac cleaning software can help you.

I have tested all the most popular Mac cleaners on my MacBook Air and here are the top 5 Mac disc cleaner that I found most secure, effective and easy-to-use. Hopefully one of them will be helpful for you.

Top 2. Cleanmymac

Cleanmymac includes not only files cleaner but also tools to repair glitches of your Mac, remove/disable plugins, remove browsing history and chat history. It certainly is a powerful program yet it doesn't have a duplicate finder, one of the most important tools for cleaning Mac. I guess that is because the company also developed a duplicate finder, but that means users have to download two applications to do a complete cleanup to their Macs.

If you are a techie and can diagnose system problems on your own, you can also use tools on the cleaner to run maintenance scripts, repair dish permissions, flush DNS cache, etc.

You can also remove/disable plugins, widgets, login items on your Mac. But make sure you know what you are doing, otherwise, it will make some important functions unusable on your Mac.

Top 3. Dr.Cleaner

Dr.Cleaner is another great Mac file cleaner. It is well-designed with a nice interface. I myself like its interface most, which is simple and good-looking. It also offers Mac system monitor but this feature is exclusive to pro version only.

It also offers Disk Map, a new feature that can present all files on one of your folders in a visual map. It is kind of fancy though not very necessary.

Its Duplicate Finder doesn't directly scan out all duplicates in the Mac system. Users need to select folders before the scanning, which I found inconvenient.

Top 4. MacClean

MacClean can also tidy up your Mac. With its free version, you can only scan out junk, logs, caches, duplicates, etc. on the Mac. But you need to purchase the application to activate the clean feature. And the application is a pretty expensive one with one-year version costing $19.99 and $29.99 for an unlimited version for one Mac.

Price: $29.99

Features of MacClean

It helps to clean caches, browsing history, cookies, language files, duplicated files, app data on an iMac/MacBook. But you should be very careful about cleaning cookies or language files. You don't want to delete something useful.

It can also protect your privacy by erasing recent app usages and app histories.

Top 5. CCleaner

CCleaner is another excellent cleaning software for Mac system. Like other cleaners, it can clear up junks and unused files. However, the interface is kind of outdated. And as I was using a free version, many features are missing, including duplicate finder, real-time system monitor, etc.

Price: $24.95

Features of CCleaner

With a free version, there are only two features to use. The first one is to clean Safari history, system junks, trash, logs, etc.

The second is to clean applications and its data.

These are the five cleaners. Now I only use the first one MacMaster on my MacBook because it is very simple while it can do a complete cleanup for my Mac. Which one is your favorite? Share your opinion below.
